No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club’s news - Part 10

[Cannyman]

Is Toby Pink now better than Ben Mackay?

 

[CobberRodgers]

How can you have 8 tackles as a club near half time and be leading.

This is putrid.

Can’t believe I stayed home to watch this. Local footy is better.

It’s always got me ****ed why North don’t just stop playing MacDonald and Simpkin, like it can’t possibly be any worse blooding youngsters in their place. They are so bad!

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Worse half a footy I have seen in a long time. 2 terribly skilled teams.

 

[Hodgey 15]

I reckon Tassie VFL team (who are going very well atm) would beat either of these two teams right now lol.

Agree this game is a circus - but the North vs Drugpigs game last week was actually worse.

That was probably the worst game I’ve ever seen , Benny Hill from start to finish.

North are bad enough to break Carlton's second-half jinx.

I'm barracking for the draw.

Dylan Stephens having a great season so far, can't say I saw this coming

He’s playing kick to kick with Sheezel, McKercher, Parker and Daniel.

They spend all game passing between each other in the backline racking up good numbers and doing absolutely no damage.

He won’t want to watch that effort on replay

Sheez has gone from an excellent playmaker in the back half, to a non-damaging mid through kicking sideways, back and hack clearance kicks under pressure.

Makes me sad. His disposal by foot was quality and has regressed.

Norf are playing yet more putrid footy. For so many high draft kicks, their skills basics are woeful today.

 

[unitedhawk2]

Is Hayward just plain dumb? Twice in the same game!

 

[Blackhawk42]

That passage of play could end Clarko's career.

This Carlton side is horrible by foot and they just cut through every angle across the ground until a lead up forward took a mark.

Norf leaving so many spaces open. Where is their pressure or work rate, no one is running at all.

 

[Kuuz]

Geez Duursma is lucky. He should have been pinged then.

 

[Mercy Seat]

To North's credit, their ball movement isn't that bad, and they're creating plenty of chances. They just don't have the class at either end to punish Carlton, or on the flipside, close it down when it comes in D50.

It's deja vu at both ends when north have 3 players jump into each other to every ball coming in, ball spills loose and Blues just mopping up.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Is Toby Pink now better than Ben Mackay?

Possibly, but that’s not saying much.

 

[Cleavy]

now we wait for the implosion?

 

[kenneje]

I’m sure old heads will call me soft, but it’s insane that you can, according to the rules, knee someone in the head or spine.

With the underwriter pulling out of concussion insurance, I can’t imagine you’ll be able to do it for much longer.

 

[unitedhawk2]

now we wait for the implosion?

Not sure.

North are nowhere near as good as the other teams the Blues have been overrun by.

 

[Cleavy]

they got the first goal of the quarter. cue the jitters

EDIT: but Carlton strike back straight away

 

[Off The Couch]

Knees to the head in marking contests the next thing gone

 

[Off The Couch]

Carlton supporters feeling it now

 

[SpanishBrowne]

Lol carlton

 

[macdaddio]

Bye bye Voss

 

[Off The Couch]

Vomit - go north
